Following his acclaimed AlunaGeorge collaboration earlier this season, rising R&B singer Cautious Clay has returned today with another new single. It’s titled “Reasons” and features additional writing assistance from Tobias Jesso Jr. (Adele, Florence and the Machine) and co-production by Pusha-T associate and former TNGHT member Hudson Mohawke.
“Drama in my life on purpose/ ‘Cause I don’t need to have purpose,” the Brooklyn-based singer opens the track, his silky vocals wrapped close to Mohawke’s relaxed, dancehall pop-hinted production. “Throw it all away make ends/ Fucking up my night to keep friends.”
Take a listen below. Update — Wednesday, April 24th: Watch the new music video for “Reasons”, helmed by director Haoyan of America.
